Answer 2

Answer:

The growth of revolutionary nationalism in Europe motivated the Greeks to start a struggle for independence in 1821.

• Greece had been a part of the ottoman empire since the fifteenth century.
• The struggle inspired the educated elite class of Europe and filled them with nationalistic zeal.
• Literature mobilized public opinion to support struggle against a Muslim empire.
• Greek citizens who were living in exile supported them, and poets and artists lauded Greece as the cradle of European civilization.
• As a result, nationalistic sentiments were invoked among the educated elites of Greece like Lord Bryon, an English poet, who raised funds and even participated in the war.
